In my previous post I indicated that we (my wife and I) were attending a spiritual retreat in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. After our last session today we were encouraged to experience delight. We decided to walk to the Chelsea Market, then walked the High Line to the Hudson Yards. These images are just a glimpse into an evening of delighting in New York City!
On a recent trip back home to New York my brother invited me to hike some trails on the north shore of Long Island and visit the abandoned King’s Park Psychiatric Center. He encouraged me to bring my camera – glad I did. The sprawling campus of this abandoned facility is something to behold. It is fascinating to see so many old buildings and realize they were filled with patients and all kinds of professional and support personnel. A Google search will return the sad, tragic saga of this facility. This is Building 93. It is much more ominous than these images reveal.
Galena, Illinois was “born” in 1826. It is known as the town that time forgot. This beautiful town is filled with shops, candy, lots of chocolate, delicious coffee, great eateries and, apparently, ghosts! This is my bride, and we enjoyed celebrating 39 years together in Galena!
A few images from a day trip to Chicago with my colleagues earlier this week.
We have lived in the Chicago area for 16 years now and these images are from my first visit to the Riverwalk in Chicago. You can read about the history of this beautiful part of Chicago here.
Took a stroll down Milwaukee Ave. in Logan Square, Chicago with my oldest grandson. This is what we saw. Thanks for stopping by!
Taken from a recent cloudy, rainy day in Chicago.
On our recent trip to New York we visited the Hammerstein Ballroom, located in the Manhattan Center, where we attended Hillsong Church. The Hammerstein Ballroom is a beautiful venue which hosts a variety of events and productions.
The pavilion with the funkiest name is also the most difficult to photograph, so, I decided to try a profile shot.
Let’s kick off 2018 with a view of Michigan Avenue, Chicago. If you can, you need to visit this oh so photogenic city, then, visit yours truly!
